Syracuse 21 — Purdue 7, heading to the 4th Quarter

It’s been all ‘Cuse except for this score from Hudson Card to Deion Burks.

Boilermakers will try to get something going in the second half and close the gap.

No. 8 Washington beats Michigan State 41-7 on the back of a near-500 yard performance from Michael Penix Jr.

Penix Jr. final stats:
27/35 for 473 yards (13.5 avg) and 4 touchdowns

‘Cuse up 14-7 on Purdue early in the 2nd.

It wasn’t pretty, but No. 10 Alabama did eventually separate itself from USF in the final quarter to win 17-3 despite continued struggles, particularly at QB.

Bama benched Jalen Milroe to start Tyler Buchner this game instead and then benched Buchner for Ty Simpson.

All three QBs have struggled in different areas. Milroe has potential but not consistent with reads. Buchner was arguably worse passing. Simpson didn’t seem to handle pressure well at all.

Back to the drawing board this week in Tuscaloosa.

If the Tide doesn’t figure out some solutions quick, they could quickly fall into a hole. They’re entering the heat of their schedule:

• Sep. 23 vs. Ole Miss
• Sep. 30 vs. Mississippi State
• Oct. 7 vs. Texas A&M
• Oct. 14 vs. Arkansas
• Oct. 21 vs. Tennessee

A basketball score if we’ve ever seen one! Portland State put up 91 points on North American while the Stallions remained scoreless in the devastating loss.

42 points in the second quarter alone.

No touchdowns in the fourth or we would’ve been looking at a 100+ point game for one team!

After trailing at the half, 14-3, back-to-back two-time defending champion Georgia turned on the jets in the second half to beat rival South Carolina 24-14.

Kirby Smart said his message to his team is taking the moments “one at a time” — not harping on the past or fretting on the future.

#10 Alabama is tied at 3-3 with USF at halftime.

Bama has used two new quarterbacks today — Tyler Buchner started and Ty Simpson came in the last two drives before the half after Buchner couldn’t produce.

Jalen Milroe started the first two games of the season, but Saban opted to try out the other options after Milroe had a sub-par performance against Texas, only completing 52% of his passes and throwing for two interceptions.

No. 8 Washington is up 21-0 on Michigan State early in the 2nd Quarter, with QB Michael Penix Jr. leading the Huskies’ high-powered offense. So far this game, Penix Jr. is 9/10 for 204 yards (averaging 20.4 yards/pass) and two touchdowns.

Michigan State has struggled to get anything going offensively — through the air or on the ground. QB Noah Kim is 5/12 for 47 yards and has -9 rush yards.

A reminder that Michigan State’s head coach, Mel Tucker, was suspended without pay last Sunday in the face of sexual harassment allegations. Harlon Barnett is the acting head coach, and former head coach Mark Dantonio has rejoined the program as an associate head coach.

Boston College had a chance to get the ball back and just needed a field goal to upset the #3 Seminoles, but a facemask penalty effectively ruins any chance at that.

Florida State wins 31-29.

Boston College had a program record 17 penalties for 131 yards. Impressive that they were able to stay in it despite that stat line. Something they’ll have to seriously work on.

A walk-off 61-yard field goal secures the upset for Missouri over #15 Kansas State. FINAL: 30-27.

Boston College forced Florida State to a 3 and out. Noles unable to get anything going and only drain 42 seconds off the clock. BC just needs a field goal to take the lead.

It’s 27-27 over on SEC Network with less than a minute to go.

Boston College goes 95 yards in two minutes to shrink its deficit against Florida State to two! 31-29 with just over 5 minutes to go!

Last time BC beat a top 5 team was #4 Notre Dame in 2002!

Watch live on CNBC and Peacock!

Florida State’s Jordan Travis throws a short pass to a receiver, but they bobble it and Boston College scoops it and runs the less than 10 yards to score. Go for two, but no good. 31-22, FSU on top, with 11 minutes left.

Defender draped all over him? No problem.

Florida State QB and early Heisman candidate Jordan Travis was injured in one of the final plays of the first half against Boston College. After coming out of the game, he’s back on the field to start the 3rd Quarter. FSU leads BC 17-10.

Texas jumped seven spots to No. 4 in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday after beating Alabama, and the Pac-12 became just the second conference to place as many as eight teams in an AP Top 25.

Georgia received 55 first-place votes to remain the clear No. 1. Michigan was No. 2, with two-first place votes. No. 3 Florida State received three first-place votes and moved up a spot.

Texas received two-first place votes after its biggest regular-season victory in years. The Longhorns are in the top five for the first time since starting the 2010 season at No. 5 and have their highest ranking since finishing No. 2 after losing the BCS championship game to Alabama in 2009.
